3-Day Detox that actually works (grocery list & meal plan included!)

September has been a BLUR with packing up my life, a final Labor Day Weekend down in Avalon and a 3 day road trip to Dallas, TX, with my sister. Needless to say, minus my daily superfood shake, the the rest of my nutrition has been sub-par.

Luckily I have my favorite 3 day detox to lean on. It's a plan that simplifies what you eat (yes there is real food), and puts me on auto-pilot as to what to eat, how often to eat and how much water to drink. I've completed the program probably 10+ times since it debuted from Beachbody and each time I feel refreshed, lighter, and fitting into my jeans easier. (results from previous Refreshes at the bottom of this post).

The 3-Day Refresh combines three specially-formulated shakes plus one fiber drink with whole foods to help you de-bloat, squash cravings, and start eating more real, nutritious foods like vegetables, fruits, and healthy fats. Filled with plenty of nutrition, fiber, and good-for-you fats, this plan is short enough to make it doable in any circumstance — even if you’re traveling. Best of all, you don’t have to sit miserably at the dinner table with a cup of liquid while your family or friends enjoy a satisfying meal. You get to eat real food with them.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

Follow these instructions to make your meals quickly:

  1. Roast the asparagus and cauliflower. See preparation directions below.

  2. Make the Veggie Stir-Fry. See prep directions below.

  3. Next, build the spinach salad. See prep directions below.

  4. Now, put together the afternoon snacks. Cut 4 stalks of celery ribs, and cut the reserved half of the carrot into matchsticks. Divide the celery between 2 small food containers, and place the carrots in another container. Add 2 Tbsp. of hummus to each dish. Place in the refrigerator.

  5. If you’re going to include the optional vegetable broth in your 3-Day Refresh menu, fill three food containers with 1 cup of broth each. Add up to ¼ cup fresh herbs, like chopped parsley or cilantro.

  6. If you purchased a whole cantaloupe, cut it into cubes so that you have 3 cups of cut fruit. Divide evenly between 3 food storage containers or small plastic bags, and place them in the refrigerator.

Roasted Asparagus and Cauliflower Preparation

  • Heat oven to 400°F.

  • Arrange 10 asparagus spears on a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tsp. olive oil, and season with Himalayan salt if desired.

  • Add green beans, carrots, bell peppers, ¼ tsp. sea salt, and 2 Tbsp. vegetable broth.

  • Cook for 5–7 minutes more, or until the vegetables are tender crisp.
